Quiet Study Areas
With the end of the semester approaching, you may need a
quiet place to study. The 3rd and 4th Floors are designated
quiet areas. There are plenty of carrels and outlets to plug-in
your laptops.
You can also study in Special Collections during the hours
they are open (Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm).
